What characteristics have motivated your choice?
I needed a simple interface with several good cheap entry to exit.

The reputation of both preamps and headphone motivated me for this card, and compatibility Pro-tool which in the future is a plus.

With which instruments or systems (console, preamp, DTD ...) and you use the connection with what? ... For what purpose? What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Disk ,...)?

I use a macbook to record guitar, vocals, bass and electronic drum (V-drum), I also monitor connected over Adam A3X.

UTILIZATION

The drivers are stable?

I've never had a problem, sometimes to start my mac crashes when the fast track is the default audio output.

What software do you use most often? What latency you get? How many tracks do you manage to record / playback simultaneously? ...

I use it with Garageband and Logic, so far I have recorded 6 tracks simultaneously without worries, and read up to 70 tracks beyond it gets really tedious.

GETTING STARTED

The plant was a driver has finished DL and it works only tt.

The implementation is simple it's plug'n'play, the configuration is very simple, the gain knobs have a race quite sensitive, very logarithmic, power is the limit.

I served with microphones where the guitars with direct input and it works very well, he has a latency between return and direct passage through the DAW is quite normal.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6-7 months it works really well, it is portable which is great practice for recording of repeat or quickly make friends with a few microphones and a computer.

I also have a PCI interface on a PC, which in most ESI 10/10 E & S, but less portable and less convenient so that a bit dated, latency and performance limits were soft.

I find the value for money very good, good quality preamp, this is a bit fragile I have fallen several times and the fact I farted and I have an LED holes pierced opposite the button because the hull is moved ... more than just end it unless the interface ...

With the experience I referrer the same choice when perhaps j'obterai for the Fast Track Ultra 8 for more entries.
